Save democracy + protect voting rights!
Do good + experience an intimate circus cabaret, nominated "Best of Chicago" by the Chicago Reader! This month's edition of the popular speakeasy show will raise money to support voting rights with circus artists, fusion bellydancers, object manipulators, and more who have performed around the world. "When sexy meets dangerous, it’s badass.”
All proceeds will be donated to VoteRiders, a nonprofit that provides voter ID assistance so that every American can cast a ballot that counts.
"Mesmerizing to watch and a joy to behold." - Uncanny Magazine
